  • Right. Doesn't change the fact about UK law considering their actions terroristic.. You know, what this thread is about.

  • So are Signal's serverside components.

  • WhatsApp is e2e encrypted. It uses the same tech as Signal.

    • Russia plans to try to block VPN services in 2024

    Jump

  • Ah ok. Well, as I said I lived there for years and i'm telling you they can and do block VPN traffic (not all, another commenter mentioned Astrill) quite well. To say zero success is incorrect.

    Location (and peering) might be a factor, so if you/your friends lived somewhere different to I your experience may differ.

  • I spent years living in China. Do you really mean zero success?

    OpenVPN stopped working in 2017. Deep packet inspection prevents the initial handshake. I hosted my own SS for a number of years before switching to wireguard, with more success.. however, they IP ban a majority of VPS IP ranges, so the providers Linode/DigitalOcean were messed up.

    And everyone experiences VPN slow down during CPC conferences.

    It can only be worse now.

    • Organic Maps: An Open-Source Maps App That Doesn't Suck

    Jump

  • Used it as my primary hiking tool recently (i know, I know - I had a compass and a map) and it worked a treat.

    • What Lemmy Client(s) Do You Use?

    Jump

  • I haven't. Screenshots look nice but it appears to be only on G Play and i prefer FOSS.

  • Jerboa is close enough to RIF for me that it's borderline perfect as is.

    • AOL Pretends to be the Internet - The History of the Web

    Jump

  • AOL even made its way to the UK. Free CDs all over the place, even accompanying paid coputing mags.

    I'm glad it went away.

    • Vice City was my favorite one

    Jump

  • Vice City made me appreciate 80s music at a young age. I really appreciate the thought that went into selecting abd producing the sound track. I have the full OST release on CD - not sure if it is a bootleg or not, I don't really care.

  • Not a problem in western Europe.

    • The most popular Chinese keyboard app which is used by more than 450 million monthly users sends every key typed to Tencent in China.

    Jump

  • Yes.. The pitfalls of FOSS is that some dude is working on it when they have free time. I've been using it for 2 years and can't say I mind.. would like to have the word suggestions, though.

    • What's your favourite keyboard app? ⌨️

    • What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?

    Jump

  • I bought them on purpose. For jobs you spend all day on your feet and are able to get away with crocs, they're godsends. I used to spend 8 hours on my feet and finish without an ache. Nowadays I spend very little time on my feet, but still rock a pair of crocs when i'm walking about the house, garden, or to the shops.

    Would not be seen dead in them anywhere else!
